A good run!

Sales were going pretty good for a while then......nothing!
I did a couple more pillows since they are really fun to do and decided to add some older works like crocheted Rosary beads and book markers. I actually broke down and bought a couple patterns for crocheted animals! I thought if I take new pictures of my baby blankets and offer a cute little something something, it might boost sales in that area.
I'm working on a new show about my daughters birthday but she isn't liking it so we'll see. Ah the sweet age of 15. If I knew all that I knew back then now...or is it , never mind it's hopeless.
Back to the finishing touches on my pumpkins and a special request for a closet viewer. lol

Back from Michigan

We made it back last night, a SIX hour drive; of course I crocheted the way up and back.lol I can't wait to add my things I did on my etsy but I had to get this show on the road so to speak. I put some photos from MI and some from Kentucky in April . Enjoy the show and don't forget to sign my guest book which no one is....????

Drag Race

I finished up two more pillows and the white baby blanket. This weekend we'll be heading to the track in July 21-22Inaugural Chrysler Classic at US 131 US 131 Motorsports Park Martin, MI. Mike will drag race his Baby LilRed. It's a 6 hour ride but we need to get away. Can't wait to take videos at the track.....hope it's not too hot, I don't do well with heat. I'm taking the laptop so maybe I'll post a video or some pictures!!!!! Let's hope he wins. TTFN

Peter Piper

Holy cow, talk about peppers...I have more everyday. None to go to waste though. Here is a recipe given to me by a little old lady I used to wait on.

HOT OR MILD PEPPER RINGS

• (1) PECK PEPPERS OR CUT AND ADD AS THEY RIPEN
• (1) QUART VINEGAR (WINE OR CIDER)
• (1) PINT OIL (CANOLA OR OLIVE)
• 24OZ. WISHBONE ITALIAN DRESSING
• 3/4 CUP WATER
• 1/2 CUP SALT
• 1/3 CUP OREGANO
• 4 WHOLE CLOVES OF GARLIC

STIR ALL INGREDIENTS TILL SALT IS DISSOLVED

ADD THE PEPPERS CUT INTO RINGS...LEAVE A FEW SEEDS

PUT INTO MASON JARS AND REFRIDGERATE

THEY KEEP A LONG TIME AND ARE REAL CRISPY

I USE THEM ON SANDWICHES AND IN COOKING AND THE NEAT THING IS YOU CAN MAKE THE JUICE UP, REFRIDGERATE AND ADD THE PEPPERS AS YOU GO!!!

Hope you enjoy the recipie now off to the store to by some ingredients. Chop, chop.

Happy,happy,joy,joy

The fundraiser was a huge success! Everyone had a good time,all the food and bake goods went so clean-up was a breeze. My daughter even got to play a few games of bingo and won enough to pay for her text messaging for two months. I won one of the gifts ,which I admitt I put $15.00 in ticket in for, a handcarved wooden sconce. It had such detail and a mountain scene cut into it. I'll have to take a picture but it gets even better. The lady that won my afghan was just as excited and I handed out my buisness cards too.
Yippie

I SOLD A PILLOW ON ETSY!!!!!!! This is only my second sale and I can't wait till she gets it to see if she likes it.

Maybe today will be a good day after all.

Say Cheese

Just a regular day......helping my daughter bake for the bake sale tomorrow.....and all of the sudden my cat was freaking out at the window. When I looked there was this beautiful butterfly just hanging around till she spotted the planter. Ohhhh could I get outside quick enough and not have her fly away like they usually do? YES! Check her out. Just made my day.

Get-r-done

I'm wandering if I need to do another afghan. I just donated one to the school cheerleaders to raise money to go to Ocean City for camp. Saturday is their fundraiser, lets hope they make lots of money.

Blah Day

Today didn't go all so well. Physical therapy doesn't seem to be working out very well. Maybe I pushed it or maybe there is nothing that could be done to help cronic back pain. Complicated with a bad knee and MS, I'm thinking a muscle relaxer and a day in bed is in store for me today. After that I will work on my etsy shop. I am almost done with a decorative pillow and would like to get that posted tomorrow. Well out for a comma...........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Gardning

Yesterday was so hot I had to go out early to get my peppers. My tomatoes aren't getting red, probably because the lack of water.

Finally

Well, I dicided this morning to create a blog....I have a lot of work to do with it. Some things I just can't figure out and have to read up on.
Just finished a rug this morning as well so I have to get some pictures and post it on etsy.
If anyone could tell me how to list links to other sites ??? It keeps saying Error...ugh.
